Many commuters spent more than 90 minutes stranded on a train that had its brakes fail near Crestwood this morning, causing delays for other trains on Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line.

Aaron Donovan, a Metro-North spokesman, said a southbound train had brake problems near Crestwood around 7:20 a.m. Riders on that train were stuck until 8:37, when they were moved onto a different train that resumed its trek to New York City at 8:53, he said.

Other trains on the Harlem Line were delayed up to 15 minutes between Scarsdale and Mount Vernon West because of the issue in Crestwood. Those delays lasted until shortly after 10 a.m., when the railroad said the Harlem Line was back on schedule.
